Was this a shrewd business move by BA? reading this mornings paper I see that flights are almost fully booked for the rest of Concordes active life. It might even make a profit.

I quite agree with you about sustained losses, I think Branson was making fun of BA when he offered to buy Concorde for a £1, I dont think the likes of Branson need that kind of prestige.

Why do we refer to Concorde in the singular?

My childhood seems light years away, but I used to enjoy making the Airfix kits. I had a Spitfire, a Hurricane, a Sopwith Camel , a Bristol Blenhiem and a Consolidated Catalina, but my pride and joy was a model of the battleship H.M.S Hood, it took me about 6 weeks to complete it, it had pride of place in my bedroom for quite a few years.

LGW spectators gallery is open, LHR is closed with viewing only from the visitors centre.
There are some prime veiwing points around the airport but unfortunately if you loiter for to long you will be moved on by the police.
If aircraft are landing on 09L and taking off on 09R you wont see much from visitors centre

maybe from where you come from “hero” is left to people like Alexander the Great…but Americans usually have “Heros” who they look up to personally or identify with…so, maybe not your Russian “Hero of the fatherland” type i guess.

And, funny how now they reported that she did receive two gun wounds…..the point is, before you disrespect other people, think about how you would act in the same situation. Otherwise that says much about yourself doesn’t it? And as for how American soldiers are all show…well, it’s better if our enemies believe that…the more the better. [/QUOTE
…how would I act in the same situation? probably the same as Jessica, Id be firing that gun for all I was worth, and I dont have disrespect for her, remember, to me she is only a kid, Ive got a daughter the same age, and for someone that age to be in that situation and to fight their way out of it (almost) has nothing less than my respect.

British journalists injured and Kurds injured and killed by US bomb, I wonder if the pilot that dropped that bomb will be hailed a “hero”, probably get the Congressional Medal of Honour.
There’s been so many excuses put forward for “friendly fire” but why does it only seem to be one way, nobody has been killed or injured by British “friendly fire”?

Just seen late evening news, Im afraid B727 no longer exists as a plane anymore more a burnt out shell courtesy of coalition forces.
